Best of '08

Below are some of my favourite things from 2008.


Oracular Spectacular - MGMT
With three great singles (Time to Pretend, Electric Feel, and Kids) this album is solid. The songs are complex but incredibly catchy and singable.


Doctor Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog
Low Budget web only TV show made by Joss Whedon et al. Now available on DVD from Amazon, and on iTunes.









Man on Wire
A great documentary about tight rope walker Philippe Petit's daring and illegal high wire walk between the World Trade Center's twin towers in 1974. Dude -- he got the rope up there by shooting an arrow! How bad ass is that?







Wall-E
Cutest movie ever made! Seriously you'll die of cuteness. You'll also be singing the soundtrack of Hello Dolly! for 6 weeks afterwards.


Anthony Stewart Head
He kicked ass and took names as a legal assassin in the comic book style rock opera Repo! Plus he kicked ass and took names (in chainmail!) as the legendary Uther Pendragon (Arthur's dad) in BBC's Merlin.





Mad Men's season 2 Finale

Seriously how awesome was it when Peggy totally stuck it to Pete? This whole season was great but the payoff in the finale was a long time coming!
